well my answer to inflation , has always  been improved efficiency ( and therefore  better productivity for the buck ) however i seem to be a tiny minority  , because large grandiose plans keep getting  muppets employed  and clowns elected


 our reliance on foreign workers has been the showpiece of our incompetence , now sure some migration  is healthy , but to NEED temporary migration ( even as tourists and international students ) shows our whole economy is flawed , and the constant outflow of rising talent ( ever since i left high school .. because the ones a little older were sent to a pointless war in Vietnam ) was the first major sign our system was failing ( no room for quality )


 give up on the Employment figures they are nothing like real  they have manipulated since at least 1990 to fit various political agendas  the easy way is to ask the personnel officer at a solid company ( that treats employees as assets )  how many job applications they get , many other businesses just churn staff ( and sometimes board directors as well ) hoping for a shiny star to pass through and lift morale  for a while .


 or  failing that listen to the youngsters in their 20s and 30s , who has a job they hate , who has 3 , 4 , or 5  jobs , trying to get ahead ( and who uses the job as a front for illegal activities  which is the real income )


 so yes Wedgy , those who helped to descend us into the current mess ( over several decades ) are hardly the best choice to guide you out


 for example do you realize how little fuel we now refine in Australia ( despite being a gas and oil exporter )


 we could  make our own electric vehicles , we mine most  of the resources here REE , lithium , silver gold , copper aluminum  , we have plenty of oil , gas , coal , uranium and sunshine  and all we need to make is an electric SUV  , or panel van to make a viable industry ( all it needs to be is an over-sized golf buggy  , or mobility scooter )


 after all the recent supply chain issues  , how many steps have we made toward self-sufficiency in the last two years
